Creditors are not added at the 341(a) trustee's meeting. It has nothing to do with that meeting. If you have creditors you failed to list, you need to file amended schedules with the court adding them.
If this is a no-asset Chapter 7 case, there may be no harm in failing to list the debts anyway, but you should check with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in your area to see how the courts deal with that.
